Omg i had so many tests, I went to so many doctors. While it was unfortunate that I had lost my job I can't imagine having to schedule all those appointments around my working hours. I just kept reminding mysel that every test and every doctor visit was one step closer to the surgery

I went to a psychiatrist, nutritionist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, ekg, chest xray, so many blood tests, hematologist, reumatologist....and probably a couple more I don't remember off the top of my head

yeah isn't this the "easy" way out?

I've burned through a lot of vacation time already "getting ready". I'm so ready to be on the other side of the surgery, scheduled 11/30/15. I had my last steak and glass of Cab for a while tonight!

Funny thing is, this is the easiest part of the whole thing.

It will happen before you know it. Then the real work begins.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
